KFXY-LP was a low-power FM radio station in Mesa, Arizona. Broadcasting on 99.1 FM, KFXY-LP was owned by San Tan Educational Media and carried a classic country format known as Coyote Country 99.1.

The original construction permit specified operation on 106.7 MHz, but this was soon changed to 99.1 because of severe interference from KKMR on 106.5. The station signed on in early 2014 as KUKQ-LP with an alternative music format known as "KQ99.1". The KUKQ callsign was formerly used at 1060 AM (now KDUS). After a stint as KOWO-LP "Wow 99.1" from 2014 to 2015, the station relaunched as KQCX-LP in September 2015, then flipped again to alternative rock as "FX 99.1" on January 1, 2016. The call sign was changed once more on January 22, 2016, to KFXY-LP; As of July 2016, the station broadcast a classic country format with Americana and Roots programming.

The station went off the air November 19, 2017 after they lost their tower site. Their statement to the FCC stated, "THE EQUIPMENT HAS LOST POWER AND SITE ACCESS HAS BEEN DENIED." On June 25, 2018, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that as control of KFXY-LP had substantially changed by January 1, 2016, only six months after the station's license was granted in July 2015 (FCC regulations prohibit such changes of control within the first three years of an LPFM station's licensed operation), it had failed to comply with a condition of the license and revoked KFXY-LP's authorization.[1]
